Zutaut souligne l'importance de Steven Adler ("le secret le mieux gardé d'AFD") :
LA Weekly: The first thing that hits me listening to this is Adler’s drumming. He sounds like a fucked-up jazz drummer because he never plays the same thing twice, the same way — the imperfections are part of the sound.
Tom Zutaut: He gave them a disco punk quality with dance swing. I used to call Steven’s sound “disco boy puppy dog.” And that’s the key to Appetite. With any other L.A. metal or stadium rock drummer, Appetite would never have sounded as rock & roll or as raw as it did. You know it’s funny, because Steven couldn’t even keep time very well. And there was no software in ’86 to fix that. But Steven was the foundation of the band, and the producer, Mike Clink, knew how to get the best performances out of him. And that’s the greatest secret to Appetite for Destruction: The record doesn’t sound out of time only because the band plays to Steve Adler’s best performances. It sounds tight as fuck because the band follows his imperfections.

Oui superbe interview !
Et grâce à elle, je découvre UFO et plus particulièrement le live "Strangers in the night", énorme.
Je ne connaissais que de nom sans connaître vraiment, cet album aurait influencé le son d'Appetite avec le recours de Mike Clink qui a bossé sur les deux albums.
Il a bossé aussi sur Slash Snakeptit "its five o.clock somewhere" dont j'adore la production également, ce mec a eu un apport indéniable à la qualité des compos de ces différents projets et à réussi à les transcender grâce à un son tres Raw, tres live et organique.
C'est la magie de la musique, on en apprends et découvre tous les jours !
